Local Option Meeting.

The committee appointed to draft resoiu.
| tions, expressing the sentiments OF this
meeting, would respectfully submit the fol-
lowing:
LIST. That the liquor interest in our coun-
try by Its bold and defiant attitude, and by
the use of its iii-gotten gains in corrupting
elections, dominating political parties and
seeking to control legislation, National, State
and municipal,to its own ends, has become q
power no longer to be tolerated.
I'd. That the saloon, standing as per-
petual seduction to the young, as well as to
those whose appetites have become deprav-
ed and ciamorous, and creating, wherever
opened: an impure and poisonous moral
atmosphere which all must heathe, is an
esii so great that we desire to see it speedily
banished.
Sd. That we hail with jov the fact that
the Supreme Court of Missouri, enlightened
by the expressed will of the people where
elections have been held, and after long, and
mature consideration. has pronounced the
local option" act constitutional.
4th. That taking fresh courage from these
decisions, rejecting the growing sentiment
all over the country, that the saloon is the
enemy of all that Is pure and good, vast
ing the substance, imparing the health, weak
enlng the intellect, inf1aming the passion and
causing the premature death of thousands
which it entices; bringing blight upon the
home and depriving the family OF a comfort
cry, assaults and murders, thus by the idle
ness and waste and crime of which it is the
fearful source, iDterrupting the peace and
entalling heavy expense upon society, we
pledge ourselves to use all honorable means
to Danish this evil from our county, and we
earnestly invite our fellow citizens without
distinction of party, creed or color to Join us
in the work now before us.
9th. That as women have been the great.
est sufferers from the saloon we thankfully
recognize their part in this contest and with
confidence invoke their gentle, loving in
fueLce with fathers, sons, husband, brothers
and friend.

it is question as to whether he ever saw

he did, it was during his earlier days, when
he was subject to orders from parental
